Complete novice Fitbit question

[Honey1975]

My DH bought me a Fitbit which I have only just got round to thinking about using. A lady at work was telling me how she tracks how many calories she eats via the Fitbit app and it is working well for her.

I've looked at the box description on my one but it doesn't mention anything about being able to do this. Can they all do this? I have the Fitbit ChargeHR. Thanks for any help.

Have you downloaded the Fitbit app onto your phone and synced it? That will show you the calories it says you have burned and if you press the plus sign at the bottom you can log food.

One word of caution, calorie counts on many many apps are notoriously generous. So it is best either not to eat back exercise calories, or at least to half them!
